The author says “Generations from now, our treatment of criminals will be looked at with the same disgust and horror that slavery is viewed with today, and our society will rightly be condemned as cruel and barbaric for it.”

I don’t fully agree with this statement, because there can be no comparison between prison and slavery. I do however, believe that rape is cruel and barbaric and we take on some of the responsibility for allowing it to continue.

What ever happened to the idea of no “Cruel or Unusual Punishment”?

You might be inclined to be unsympathetic of prisoners plight because after all they broke the law and deserve to be where they are, but do they really deserve to have this form of torture brought down on them?
